Sweet Summertime: Matsuo Basho (Master and Creator of Traditional Haiku) and John William Waterhouse

Posted on 21 June 2016

“Sweet Summer” by John William Waterhouse

An old pond;

A frog jumps in—

The sound of water.

Matsuo Basho (Master and Creator of Traditional Haiku)

Un vecchio stagno;

Una rana vi salta dentro —

Il suono dell’acqua.
